Today I took a picture of the work being done for the development at Octavia & Market Streets. Amazing how much work is going on between Market & 8th Streets to Castro Street. It is like a gold rush going on now in San Francisco!

Thank you guys for all of the photo updates. So many projects to follow now....especially upper Market. Wow.
Also, this sounds promising. Could we see our new tallest break ground this year?
Quote:
The sale of land that is expected to eventually house one of the largest skyscrapers on the West Coast could be completed in the next few days, transferring hundreds of millions of dollars for development around the future Transbay Transit Center.
Once the transaction is complete, the developers are expected to break ground on the 1,070-foot metal-and-glass-facade Transit Tower. A start date is pending. Plans for the structure, which was designed by architects Pelli Clarke Pelli, call for a 61-floor building that will have 1.4 million square feet of floor space. More than 10,000 square feet of retail space and 1.37 million square feet of office space also are planned.
fimiak, we may have crossed paths today. sf eddo is in town on spring break from Harvard, and JChurch and a handful of other forumers and I were inside the Chieftan today across from the School of Dentistry from about 11am to 2pm.

Thank you very much! The pics I have then are of 900 Folsom, which appears as if it will finish in Q4 2013 or Q1 2014. On the other hand, 260 Fifth is still in the ground, but looks as if it will rise to street level in April or May. If it rises at the same speed as 900 Folsom then it will probably be finished Q3 2014. I am most excited about the prospects for so much more retail space, which is really the ingredient needed to make West SoMa flourish.

ha no way, guess where I was at 2:12:49 PM that day, according to my camera:
Oh nice. Really liking the striking choice of color. Going to make the street very vibrant! Is this supposed to extend to other streets? Maybe downtown?
Here's an under the radar small project in Hayes Valley right off Hayes street that just broke ground... Four story, six units with ground floor commercial space
